    Another thing about Ascot: does anyone else think the path from the station to the track seems to get steeper every time you walk up it? Or maybe it is just a sign of getting older…

    I’m going to sound smug but was thinking last time how it easy it is these days. Lots of cycling cork.

    I was reading a cycling book about Belgium and every year an eighty odd old guy cycles up this steep cobbled road to cheers at a festival that even fanatics in their 30# struggle with. He doesn’t even leave the saddle

    Hope for us all

    I heard Frankie is going to join forces with Jermaine Jenas
    Racecourses around the country are expanding capacity 10 fold with this great innovation

    Ha, they breed them differently in Flanders….I’m guessing it was either the Koppenberg, Oude Kwaremont or the Paterberg.

    How does Jermaine attract a younger audience? He presents The One Show ffs no one young watches that.

    What they were probably thinking Ben; is Jermaine is good with a younger audience (MOTDX) while still good with an older audience (One Show).

    Swap the word “good” for average at best
    awful with football(just my opinion). I don’t watch the one show
    any young person who watches him on any football station will run a mile from him
    Michael Owen has a fair bit of interest with horse racing and a much higher calibre of football player than Jenas. Young football fans don’t care though because they are interested in FOOTBALL
    This will attract nobody
    zilch

    Realise you are Liverpool through and through but…
    Michael Owen is too old for this advert, Nathan.
    Does not matter what the average football fan thinks.
    And it does not matter what you or I or any individual thinks about Jermaine.
    What matters is what the general population thinks.

    I have little interest in what Jermaine Jenas has to say. Doesn’t bring much to the table as far as football punditry goes imo, so not sure what he can bring to the table here.

    “There’s always great food”

    Massive lie

    Little boy Playing football around the paddock

    I’m sure that will go down well in real life when the ball hits a horse
    or the boy gets told not to play and says he saw it in the advert or ball doesn’t get past the entrance gates

    There is if you like greasy, undercooked burgers and want to get food poisoning.

    By the way ginge.. I wasn’t saying use Owen he’s more boring than Jenas
    I bought his name into it because unless you are into racing I doubt many Liverpool supporters would know his involvement in the game and even if they did it wouldn’t make them any more interested in horse racing, they would forget the fact within seconds

    Watched the video and agree completely with Nathan’s comments.

    It is some nerve to start by telling everyone there is great food. Whoever made the advert has not been to Worcester or Wolverhampton recently.

    Who wants to see kids playing football by the paddock? An absolutely ridiculous idea.

    And who was the jockey? She is not exactly high profile, whoever she is.
